TEHRAN: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards killed four more militants during an operation in the country’s southeast region where jihadists killed 10 police last month, state media said on Friday.

The deaths were part of an “ongoing operation” in Sistan-Baluchistan province, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Ahmad Shafaei said, adding that a soldier was also killed, according to the official IRNA news agency.

“The operation in Sistan-Baluchistan will continue until the terrorists and criminals are eliminated,” Shafaei said on Friday.

On Tuesday, the Guards said eight members of Jaish al-Adl had been killed during security operations there.
